What to Expect:

Enrichment Group is a small-group, drop-off social designed for dogs who benefit from more individualized attention while still learning to work and socialize within a group setting. Sessions balance structured training, enrichment activities, and carefully managed socials to support both mental and physical outlets. Most dogs - but not all - are specifically working towards skills that would assist in them being eligible for Daycare Membership.

Class Size and Trainers:

With an average dog-to-staff ratio of 3:1 and a maximum of 6 dogs per group, Enrichment Group allows for focused guidance, personalized interaction, and close supervision throughout the session.

Core Curriculum:

We are committed to the continual growth of your dog and guiding them toward becoming a well-rounded, confident companion. Our core curriculum guides our time with dogs across all programs, with a focus on:

• Recall & name recognition

• Engagement with handlers

• Impulse control

• Settling with the pack

• Emotional regulation & arousal management

• Social skills within the pack

Activities May Include:

• Training games focused on obedience and impulse control
